My parents and I flew to the US for my brother's 21st

Family

I was over in America last week. My little brother Ben (right) is in college over there on a soccer scholarship so my mom, dad and I decided to surprise him for his 21st birthday.

We flew over and knocked on his door and he couldn't believe it.

He's been over there for three years so it was really nice to go over and see him, and to see some American football.

I love America - there's so much to see and do and the locals are very different to the Irish.

I've been to New York and other places, but I don't know if I would be able to move over there.

I'm a real home bird and being so far away scares me a bit.

I love London though - I lived there for a while last year - and I still go over and back a bit because I still have an agent over there. I flew over in January to go to castings and I still really enjoy being there.

However, in the UK, models don't really talk to each other as much. It's just not as friendly as working in Ireland because you don't see the same faces as often.
